Chapter 1689: The Ice Fairy

In the depths of the Devil Abyss, on the battlefield belonging to the Northern Xuan Region, countless experts were fighting the devil creatures. This was the Northern Xuan Region’s first line of defense.

This battlefield was at the main channel, and they blocked the devil creatures from charging past them to the branches leading to individual sects.

However, some heavenly geniuses had grown impatient and charged out beyond the battle line. Those who could come here were the best and most famous geniuses of their sects. Their goal was to enter the Devil Slaughter Rankings.

Over a hundred thousand experts were fighting right now, blocking the endless horde of devil creatures. However, it wasn’t taxing on them at all.

On the edge of the battlefield was a group of a few dozen experts sitting with their eyes closed. They weren’t interested in the battle ahead at all.

These people’s auras were heavy. The power of the Heavenly Daos revolved around them, and the s.p.a.ce around them was twisted just from their existence.

However, just based on their Heavenly Dao fluctuations, they had to be Empyreans, and even had to be outstanding even amongst other Empyreans at that.

They had no intention of partic.i.p.ating in the current battle. Clearly, they disdained killing these devil creatures. They also knew that now wasn’t the right time to charge onto the Devil Slaughter Rankings.

Just as these experts were indifferently sitting there, a white-robed woman walked out. She was like a fairy from another world, and she appeared without the slightest sound.

When she walked out, the entire battlefield suddenly dropped in temperature. It was like winter had suddenly come. The woman gracefully walked forward.

With each step she took, a flower-like ice crystal bloomed. Wherever she went became a world of ice. The earth was frozen, and snow fluttered in the sky. It was like an ice G.o.ddess had descended into the world.

“The Ice Fairy Ye Zhiqiu? Why would she come out this early?” Those Empyreans sitting outside the battlefield were greatly shocked.

They all recognized this Ice Fairy, who was known as the Divine Ice Palace’s most outstanding disciple. She was their top expert in the junior generation and possessed her own legendary story. Rumor was that she had once died in battle, but experts had used an ice seed to freeze her soul in place. Using her soul as the bridge and her body as the lure, they had allowed her to undergo nirvanic rebirth, which had also awakened her ice spirit body.

Although Ye Zhiqiu’s name had long since resounded throughout the Northern Xuan Region, that was only because she was known as the Divine Ice Palace’s most outstanding disciple. Only a few people had ever seen her, let alone seen her fight.

Without summoning her manifestation, without activating any magical arts, she froze heaven and earth with just her aura. That was something only the legendary ice spirit body could accomplish.

“What a beautiful ice beauty. It’s too bad she’s too cold,” sighed an Empyrean emotionally.

Ye Zhiqiu was so beautiful that it was suffocating. Her white robes were like snow, while her black hair fell to her waist. However, when her beauty was described as suffocating, it wasn’t just a description. It was reality. Just looking at her would make someone feel like their soul was about to freeze. Weaker disciples felt stabbing pain in their souls from taking a glance at her. That shocked everyone. If just looking at her caused this, wouldn’t being looked at by her freeze you to death?

Ye Zhiqiu’s face looked like a jade carving. It was flawless, a masterpiece of the heavens. However, this beautiful face didn’t have the slightest emotion on it. If you had to say what kind of expressions she had, then she only had two. One was icy, and one was icier.

Her face hadn’t changed at all from when she was in the Eastern Wasteland. However, her eyes had become frighteningly icy. No one dared to look her in the eyes.

As she gracefully walked forward, the experts fighting immediately opened a path up for her. Just like that, she slowly walked toward the devil creatures.

The area around Ye Zhiqiu was covered in ice. Those howling devil creatures were instantly frozen solid as soon as they entered her ice domain.

Countless ice statues appeared as Ye Zhiqiu walked forward. Those statues were in charging postures. It was a strange sight. No devil creatures could even get close to her before being turned into ice statues. Even the Empyreans’ expressions changed.

Although these devil creatures were nothing in their eyes, they definitely wouldn’t be able to kill them so easily with just their auras.

“What terrifying Ice Qi…” sighed an Empyrean. This was a kind of power that caused despair. She was truly worthy of possessing the legendary ice spirit body. She was practically an unrivaled existence.

Ye Zhiqiu continued forward, leaving a path of ice statues. She quickly arrived at the place the devil creatures were charging out of. This place had a formation preventing her from going any further.

This battlefield had been created to be in the shape of a funnel. The exit was smaller, creating a bottleneck that blocked the devil creatures and made it easier to defend against them.

As for Ye Zhiqiu, she was not standing at the widest part of the funnel. A huge ice crystal appeared and instantly exploded, shrouding the world in ice.

“Heavens, what kind of move is this?!”

The battlefield had been instantly turned into a world of ice. All the devil creatures present had been turned into ice statues.

All the roaring that filled the air came to a sudden stop. The world was deathly silent. It was as if it wasn’t just the devil creatures that were frozen, but even time and s.p.a.ce.

In the next instant, the frozen statues exploded into ice fragments. There wasn’t a trace of the devil creatures left.

The huge battlefield was emptied in an instant. The only one standing at the core of the battlefield was Ye Zhiqiu. That sight stunned all the Northern Xuan Region’s disciples.
